The eighth “chapter” of the Rocky series, Creed II, was released on November 21. Continuing in the tradition of the previous seven chapters of the Rocky Saga, Creed II exploits the underdog archetype. The protagonist, Adonis Creed (Michael B. Jordan), although recently crowned heavyweight boxing champion of the world, is not prepared to beat a[…]
On a rather chilly morning on a hillside outside what is now Mexico City, in the year of our Lord 1531, while the Protestant ‘Reformation’ was wreaking spiritual and societal havoc across the Atlantic in Europe – Thomas More and John Fisher were less than four years from the chopping block – the Virgin Mary appeared –[…]
If there is one thing universal in inductive research, it is doubt. So read the textbook, through which I was first introduced to the statistical method, by one R. Parker-Bausell, which I still use in my own teaching. We are never done, finished, complete in science, for there is always more to learn, and every[…]
I come from the Holy Lands of Ontario. These are the small towns in which the Irish settled over the 19th century, and built imposing Catholic churches that became a centrepiece for the community. The phrase “the Holy Lands of Ontario” was coined by Edward Jackman. O. P., in an essay in the 1988 collection[…]

Mark Steyn makes a good point that the[…]

Its ultimate goal has never changed — to communize the entire world by radically overturning the social order and foundations of Christian civilization and supplanting it with communism’s false religion.[…]
The Synod on Youth has closed, after approving the final document in accord with the new rules on Episcopal Synods promulgated by Pope Francis just last month, Episcopalis communio, which updated, and strengthened the authority of these meetings of bishops, first approved by Pope Paul VI during the closing days of the Second Vatican Council.[…]
I read recently that Pope John Paul II had a vision of Europe being taken over by Islam, the continent’s once-vibrant Christianity gone silent and dark, entombed and cobwebbed. With whatever grain of salt one takes such stories (such as another one I heard years ago, that ‘Quebec would save North America’, alas) the prophecy[…]
